### **Fast facts**

Bring extra character to your bags with coordinated panels, trims and contrasting details. Color combinations connect the main fabric with the smaller components, creating anything from a subtle tonal finish to a bold contrast.

**Panels**  
Single-color or two-tone constructions

**Hems**  
Matching or contrasting top finishes

**Cords**  
Coordinated shades or accent colors

**Stitching**  
Blended-in or visible contrast thread  
  
**Linings**  
Matching, contrasting or lighter interiors  
  
**Palette**  
Built around your brand or collection

**Why choose it?**  
A contrasting cord or hem can make a simple bag more distinctive. Two-tone panels give larger designs a stronger visual identity, while a lighter lining can make small contents easier to see. Repeating the same accent color across several sizes helps create a recognizable product family.

**Things to consider**  
Materials can reflect color differently, so a matching fabric, cord and thread may not look identical. Extra panels add seams and can affect the print area. Check strong dark-and-light combinations for color transfer under the intended care conditions, and approve the complete combination on a finished sample.

**Customization options**  
Combine two fabric colors in separate panels. Add a contrasting hem or upper drawstring channel. Choose matching or contrasting cords and hardware. Highlight selected seams with a different thread color. Coordinate the lining and exterior across a collection.
